Abstract
In the finishing of Terylene–linen fabrics, the shrinkage characteristics of the constituent yarns must be given careful consideration. Established methods for open‐width processing of 100% linen fabrics may be applied to the blend and, according to the choice of yarn, a predominance of either flax or Terylene fibre on the fabric surface can be produced. Good stability to laundering is achieved by processing the fabric under minimum tension and heat setting at some stage in the finishing sequence. Terylene–linen fabrics may be dyed to solid colours by a two‐bath process, using a variety of techniques. The possibility of differential abrasion must be considered when producing cross‐dyed effects. The use of crease‐resist resins is recommended for those fabrics made from the 67/33 blend intended for outerwear. Provided that an amount appropriate to the fabric weight is applied, good crease recovery can be produced with various classes of resin.
